Islam is a heinous, blasphemous, and corrupt religion. How can it be anything other than blameworthy in the sight of God, and therefore in the sight of His people? I do not dispute that God is using Islam to chasten the West. However, it doesn't follow that since it is a tool in the hand of God, therefore we can't blame it for the damage it is doing to the West and to the world at large.
